Triage
It does not follow, nor comfort to me bring
When one physician says, "a polyp clip'd, but some of base remains" --
Then of the colon's six short feet, one foot removed,
Close checked and found to be right clean --
To hear the triage doctor say, "stand down -- you're cancer free!"
For somewhere in the belly unimpeded
A cell divides, and smiles -- assured to have succeeded.
